Did anyone see that horrendous story about McConnell holding a decades long grudge because Bork wasn't confirmed, which McConnell then got his revenge by blocking Obama's rightful SCOTUS nomination?
Could be McConnell's hatred of Obama had something to do with it as well. I'd bet you McConnell dislikes blacks. I'd guess he was racist but he's married to an Asian. Is there a name for that? Selective racism?
To go back a few days:
First, this sounds like bog-standard white supremacism. Light-skinned Asians, as well as white Hispanic people and *sometimes* white jews, can be folded in to some extent. The key element of US-style white supremacism, again, is to rob black and native Americans of wealth, and to transfer it to
some white Americans - who exactly gets to count as "white" is necessarily somewhat flexible.
There's a reason why no less than Jackie Robinson, lifelong republican, stated that the 1964 GOP convention made him understand what it was like to be a jew in the Third Reich.
Second, you're underestimating McConnell. He was, at one point, relatively willing to stand behind civil rights. Now, he's running cover for overt white nationalists and white supremacists. The actual key is to remember that, when miners from his state wanted to discuss their raided pensions with him, he showed up for under one minute - just long enough to tell them "**** off, I'm supporting the pension raiders." He's not about white supremacism, he's about mantaining a wealthy oligarchy. Dolt 45's open hatred of nonwhite people, the pro-Jim Crow judges he keeps voting for, the voter suppression he loves, the pensions and health care he willfully denies to his own voters - those are to line his pockets, and those of his elite friends.
In other words, as I keep saying, he's vastly more dangerous than Cheeto Benito, because he's capable of engineering a brutal society, while the idiot in the oval office couldn't run the smoothie stall at the local mall's food court.
